Dwy garnedd gron Mynydd Bach

Dwy garnedd gron Mynydd Bach stands on a ridge in the upland parish of Lledrod, Ceredigion. The two round cairns date from the late Neolithic to the early Bronze Age. They were probably built for burial rituals and ceremonies connected with the dead. Cadw has listed the site as a scheduled monument under reference CD057. The builders also raised chambered tombs, ring cairns, standing stones and hillforts across the region. The cairns sit on Mynydd Bach, a modest summit reached by farm tracks and open moorland. Their stones were placed without mortar, forming low circular mounds. Excavations have shown cremated bone and flint tools within the mounds. The site offers a quiet place to stand among ancient stones under wide Welsh skies. Visitors walk a short grassy path to the two cairns, each about ten metres across. The surrounding moor stretches away to distant hills. No fences or barriers mark the spot, so the land feels open and undisturbed. The wind carries the sound of sheep and skylarks above the heather.
